Excellent Time Made - The Prizes
and the Winners.
The sixth annual fall regatta of the New
Haven Yacht club held yesterday was the
most successful ever given by this popular
nautical organization. The fleet was started
at precisely 1890 a.. m. by the gun from the
Judges steamer Messenger.
The weather was most propitious for a
sailing day and the yaehtsmen were happy.
The course sailed over was twenty miles as
the crow flies, from off Pardee's bar buoy
and down the harbor, leaving Ludingtons
rock buoy, Pond and Welch's Point buoys
and the buoy off the southwark of Charles
Island on the starboard hand, thence to and
around a stakeboat, returning over the same
course, leaving Charles Island, Welch's,
Pond Point and Ludington's rock buoys on
the port hand, to the starting point.
The steamer Messenger carried the judges:
Mayor S. A, York, Theodore A. Tuttle and
G. St. John Sheffield. The timekeeper was
L. A. Elliott. The steam yacht Lucy fol-
lowed the yachts also. On board was the
owner, Mr.. William H. Andrews and James
Gallagher.
Three of the yachts had their topmasts
carried away. The Vidette and Thalia lost
theirs off Ludington's buoy going down and
the Stranger sacrificed hers as she was on the
homeward stretch.
